Bobbie,
I didn't intend to take any potshots. I percieved you as saying that opinions didn't matter (especially uneducated opinions like mine) ie. ("they're only opinions") . I thought opinions are what sell records / CD's / MP3's , since people buy , or don't buy them based on wether they like or dislike them . So , to express an opinion along those lines , I would think , would be helpful to someone who would like to know how well , what they had written , would be recieved .
I have a great deal of respect for your opinion and a great deal of respect for the work you put into the crits you have written for me and others on the board. Yes , absolutely , your opinion does matter and I have mentioned your style of critting in discussions , from time to time . I hope you havn't percieved that as taking potshots at you. I feel bad for you when you do that much work and get back a comment like , whatever...or something that ammounts to it.
I've tried , recently , to give big long in depth crits . They havn't gone over well , far as I can tell. I guess I'll just leave the in depth critting to the educated folk that read the books...
Hugs,
Pete

Here we are wracking our brains today
to write lyrics that rhyme
and if we succeed, they'll end up in time
as tommorrow's cliche's...
